What communism actually is:
State ownership of ALL means of production
• Abolition of private property
• No free markets
• Single-party authoritarian rule
What US Democrats actually support:
• Capitalism with regulations
• Private property rights
• Free markets with safety nets
• Multiple parties, free elections
Communist parties in US Congress: 0
Socialist parties in US Congress: 0
Democratic Socialists (Bernie-style): ~5 out of 535
The Democratic Party would be center-right in most of Europe. Biden and Harris are capitalists. Always have been.
But you call everything you don't like "communism" because:
1. You can't define it
2. You never learned political science
3. Fox/OAN/Newsmax told you scary words = Democrats
4. You're in a cult that requires an enemy
"Do your own research" means YouTube videos.
"Communist" means "thing I don't like."
"Patriot" means "person in my cult."
The states with the worst education rankings vote the most Republican. That's not a coincidence.

Liar. You could just spend less. Ex Could easily cut by at least 1/2 the amount spent on homeless.
https://nypost.com/2026/03/16/us-news/n ... mptroller/NYC spent roughly $81K per person on homeless services last year: comptroller
New York City spent roughly $81,000 per person on homeless services last year — amounting to a whopping $368 million in total bills, a shocking new state report found.
Spending on the city’s Department of Homeless Services’ “Street Homeless Solutions” division more than tripled over the last six years, from $102 million in 2019 — or about $28,000 per “unsheltered homeless person,” according to the report from the state comptroller’s office.
The cost per person was roughly equivalent to the city’s median household income as of the 2024 US Census — $81,228 annually.…
Of course there has to be major fraud in there. How could there not be?

Re: When socialism comes to America..
Trump: It’s ‘not possible’ for Washington to fund Medicaid, Medicare as military spending rises. How to prepare now
It appears that he wants to drop social spending so he can build the military and skip past socialism to a national socialist dictatorship.“The United States can’t take care of day care. That has to be up to a state,” Trump said during a White House event (1). “We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care.”
He extended that logic to major health care programs as well.
“Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things … You can’t do it,” Trump said during a White House Easter lunch (2). “We have to take care of one thing: military protection — we have to guard the country.”
The remarks come as Republicans weigh potential cuts to federal health spending, while the Pentagon reportedly seeks an additional $200 billion to bankroll the conflict (3).
